The network service is going to be a stretch, as it is very Intel
specific (protocol, device format, program behavior). The high level
functionality, is however, probably very similar to other devices.

Which kind of functionality are you looking at? Is the device you are
thinking about implemented at the NAP level or the NSP level?
